Due to a little delay in going back and forth, it was almost midnight when Chu Qinghuang arrived at Ganquan Palace. For the ladies in the palace who were accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, it was really late enough to have dinner at this time.

Concubine Duan smiled so hard in Renshou Palace that her face almost froze. If it weren't for the emperor's presence, her temper would have exploded long before a cup of tea.

For more than 20 years, she has always shown a gentle image to others, especially in front of the emperor. She is really gentle, considerate and considerate. When she was young, she was the most beautiful interpretive flower in the harem. Every time the emperor came to her, he could Get the most considerate and comfortable care.

More than twenty years have passed, and the beautiful years of youth are gone forever. Fortunately, the Ling family is still favored now. It only takes a few more years for Tianzheng to sit on the throne of the prince, and for the emperor to return to the west on the crane. , Concubine Duan was naturally promoted to the position of Queen Mother, and her wishes were fulfilled in this life.

Except for one Chu Qinghuang who didn't like her, the others were really benevolent.

With a beautiful picture of a few years later in her mind, Concubine Duan's mood improved, her temper finally calmed down a little, and she said in a gentle and slightly condemning tone: "I don't know what this kid Qinghuang is busy with. Aunt Zhao." I’ve been gone for so long, why haven’t I come back yet?”

The emperor drank tea and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Qinghuang should be very busy these two days, I will just wait for her. Besides, Qinghuang was frightened in the suburbs before, so she deserves a good rest for two days."

Frightened?

Concubine Duan was slightly stunned. How could the emperor say this with his eyes open?

There were more than 40 young men and women who went to the suburbs that day. After returning from the suburbs, most of them stayed behind closed doors for several days. It would be somewhat credible to say that they were frightened, but...

Chu Qinghuang?

Even if everyone is scared to death, Chu Qinghuang will never be affected at all.

Concubine Duan took the tea cup and ordered the palace servants to remove all the food from the table: "These are all cold. Go and bring them hot ones."

"yes."

The palace people were about to step forward when someone outside announced: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here!"

After the words fell, the emperor and Concubine Duan looked up at the same time, and immediately saw Chu Qinghuang's otherworldly face.

"The national treasury is not very rich now. Even if the Hong family is robbed and the 700,000 to 800,000 taels of silver are obtained, it is still a drop in the bucket in terms of military pay. There is a big gap." Chu Qinghuang's eyes fell on the palace people, "So the harem is Shouldn’t we put an end to extravagance and waste?”

Concubine Duan's expression froze, and the hand holding the tea cup tightened unconsciously.

"Father." Chu Qinghuang bowed and saluted, "You invited me to come for dinner so late? If Aunt Zhao had gone a little later, I would have fallen asleep."

Aunt Zhao's face changed suddenly as she walked in, and she gritted her teeth gloomily. Even though she had always been good at speaking with a mask on, after hearing Chu Qinghuang's words, she almost couldn't help but break her skills.

Looking up and looking at Concubine Duan, Aunt Zhao bowed and stood aside. She had a lot of resentment in her heart that she wanted to complain about, but she could only endure it in front of the emperor.

Going late?

The eldest princess had the nerve to let her wait in the front hall for half an hour, but now she could so confidently say that she was late?

The emperor asked her to sit down and said with concern: "Go to bed very early recently?"

"After you finish what you need to do during the day and have nothing to do at night, you should naturally go to bed early." Chu Qinghuang walked to the table and sat down. "My son is a martial arts practitioner. Go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning to practice martial arts. , we can’t let our martial arts go to waste.”

The emperor nodded in agreement: "This kind of routine is good."

Compared to those princes and powerful ministers who were still busy strategizing in the middle of the night, Qinghuang's life was obviously much simpler.

Of course, the eldest princess also has several beautiful servants. If she really has nothing to do, it would probably be a bit of an understatement, but of course there is no need to tell him in detail about her children's personal relationship.

In general, the simpler Qinghuang's life is, the more reassured the emperor is. The last thing he wants to see now is Qinghuang getting close to any prince - even if they are both from Concubine Duan. The same goes for Tianzheng.

He hoped that Qinghuang could stay away from all the princes and keep a safe distance from the ministers in the court.

"I'm calling you into the palace tonight. In addition to having dinner together, I have something else I want to tell you." The emperor took the initiative and said, "I have already informed you about the assassination you encountered in the suburbs a few days ago. The people involved have dealt with it. You haven't been in the palace for the past two days, so you may not know much about it. Now I want to ask you, are you satisfied with the treatment of the imperial concubine and her daughter? "

Chu Qinghuang was slightly surprised: "Concubine, mother and daughter?"

"Oh, she is no longer the imperial concubine." The emperor's voice became colder unconsciously when he mentioned the previous imperial concubine Feng Guifei and the current Feng Zhaoyi. "The imperial concubine was demoted to Zhaoyi. Yi Ling will go with his mother in the next two days." He went to the Qingyin Palace, and since he came back that day, he has always had nightmares and babbled non-stop. He heard from the doctor that the situation was not good, and it was really his own fault! "

When it comes to the last sentence, it is inevitable that there is a hint of uncontrollable anger.

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment: "I have nothing to be dissatisfied with, as long as my father makes the decision."

"Qinghuang." Concubine Duan smiled softly, "Your father said that you were wronged. Even the legitimate son of the Feng family did not escape the heavy responsibility. He was beaten fifty times. I'm afraid you are still unconscious at this moment. And those noble sons of the clan have all been punished. What I mean is, since the princes have taken the initiative to show weakness and apologize, then you have a lot of money, so don’t bother with them. "

Chu Qinghuang said nothing.

"Several princes can lower themselves to apologize. Has Prime Minister Feng made any move now?" the emperor asked angrily, "Does he think he is more arrogant than the princess and the princes? I feel aggrieved to punish Feng Jinzhi. Got him?"

Concubine Duan glanced at Chu Qinghuang, smiled lightly and persuaded: "Prime Minister Feng is the prime minister of a country after all..."

Chu Qinghuang sighed lightly.

In front of His Majesty the Emperor, Concubine Duan's words add fuel to the fire. She has been reminding the Emperor that several princes have gone to apologize, but the Prime Minister has not shown any sign of it. Is this because he resents His Majesty's punishment or is it? Don't you take the eldest princess seriously at all?

Of course, it was also reminding Chu Qinghuang that the weather was getting hotter, but it was time for the Prime Minister's Mansion to get colder.

But will Chu Qinghuang do what she wants?

"The Prime Minister loves his son very much, so he probably hasn't thought of apologising yet." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, not minding whether Feng Xiang went to apologize or not, "Besides, Feng Jinzhi is different from the others. Those nobles The children have not been injured before, and the fifty big boards cannot kill them, but Feng Jinzhi has been injured more and more, and the situation may be more dangerous. It is only natural that the Prime Minister should stay in the house to take care of his son. "

Whether Feng Xiang apologizes or not will not affect the outcome of his death. The Feng family is just a grasshopper after autumn.

Concubine Duan's smile faltered, can't you understand what I mean?

"The injuries are all caused by him." The emperor said coldly, "Feng Xianggruo still doesn't know how to educate his son. He will only cause greater trouble next time."

Chu Qinghuang narrowed her eyes and picked up some food to eat. She had no interest in the Feng family for the time being.

She has enough evidence in hand and can raid her home at any time, but right now the Queen and Concubine Duan are waiting to see her actions, both wanting Chu Qinghuang to strike while the iron is hot and push the third prince out of the quagmire and into hell.

It's a pity that Chu Qinghuang refused to let them get their wish.
